Kansas City, Missouri (PRWEB) June 23, 2017 -- Located in Alberta, Canada, WEM is home to approximately 800 merchants, spans 5.3 million square feet, and attracts 31 million visitors per year from around the globe. WEM is an entertainment destination that includes an indoor amusement park, the world’s largest indoor wave pool, an underground aquarium, a casino, and a hockey rink.
“Shopping malls are evolving rapidly in today’s omnichannel retail environment. Entertainment, dining and nightlife have become essential components of a vibrant shopping experience,” says Eric Mettemeyer, CEO of EML North America.
"EML's gift card solution is being launched to help WEM achieve two goals: Grow sales and capture 100% of gift card spend," adds Mettemeyer. These goals are set to be achieved with the help of EML’s innovative features:

2. E-commerce capabilities provide a means for 24/7 online sales and improves the guest experience
3. Bulk activation technology facilitates the fulfillment of five- and six-figure corporate gift card purchases
